Gyff & Tsumomo #5

The caravan entered Amaquabá. Gyff took his flask, his dagger, and got down with the elves who started to carry products. He had a job to finish and he still had to deal with the owner of the stables due to losing a horse. At least it was not a very expensive horse. Honestly, it was a little slow. This did not had much importance, since a group of people was getting close to the gates of the city.

"Phew. It is good to know they are late." - He thought while the group was getting closer. Then he turned around in a little street between the warehouses next to the entrance of the city. It was not hard for the other people to see that he turned there. It did not took 15 seconds for them to have view of the alley, but he was not there anymore. They looked towards the sky and nothing. There was no clue that the young guy was there in that short spam of time. Part of the group moved forward, the others stopped to ask people of the caravan, whom confirmed his presence according to the description they gave.

At the rooftops, a man and a woman met. The man was surrounded by a cage of light. The woman was young, wearing a muffler, a tight shirt, tight pants, and boots. Her hair was long, it was purple, and she also had wide eyes. She carried a scepter in the right hand and she was point torwards Gyff. She was similing with triumph.

- So? You are not going to do anything? You are not trying to escape? - Said the woman.
- Why would I do such thing, Someisa? Who would be fool enough to defy your power?


While the two men argued, the geisha left the room. There was nobody on the hallways, neither the auxiliar of the owner. The transversal corridor by the entrance extended itself to the east of the room she was, and there were two more rooms by the same side, and other two at the opposite side. She went to the next room where Konvaa, mrs. Katsuyo, and her auxiliar Helena were. They all remained in silence by her presence. She slowly closed the door and kneeled graciously at the right of the detective who was standing. He immediately kneeled as the noble would do, while the other two sat at the opposite side of the entrance facing them both.

- So, Katsuyo. Why is this sir bothering you? - Tsumomo asked.
- Oh, Tsumomo, like I am giving him anything that he asks me. - Katsuyo said, while still tidying herself in her simple red kimono.
- You have a log of the people who enter here, and I need it. - Konvaa spoke incisively.
- Calm down! - Said Tsumomo, putting a hand in front of her mouth to block the sound, and another over his knee. - Now, Katsuyo, did you recently realized any event here?
- Yes. - She answered, correcting her long black hair. - Two filled events.
- Three. - Corrected Helena, who was using a orange colored Kimono. - Three. In two of them the organizer did not appeared. - Katsuyo looked her with reprovation and she silenced.
- I need to know who was there. - The investigator entered in action. - I need names, descriptions, and every information possible.
- Oh, Konvaa, do not demand too much from them. They are helping us as they can. - The geisha said.
- Is he always like that, Tsumomo? - Katsuyo asked.
- These days have been stressful, could you get a little bit of Frax for us, Helena, please? - Tsumomo asked, and Helena bowed and left imediately to pick up what was asked. - I noticed the reformings they did at Yue Liang, and I think that you are going to do some reformings here too, right?
- Yes, we got some extra money beyond the bills due to these parties. - Answered Katsuyo.
- But do you know why the organizer did not showed up in half of them? - Konvaa asked and Katsuyo made a surprised face. - We know that you are covering up for him due to the money.

Tsumomo thoughtfully looked to Konvaa. "So he knew about that already? Interesting..."
